Charter likes to give back to their current and potential customers with great promotions. In the past they've given away numerous awesome prizes including a hybrid car, a Camaro, an HDTV-A-Day for an entire month, free laptops, XBox 360's and more.

For this Back to School season, Charter has recently launched their laptop-a-day giveaway, featuring one daily prize of a Lenovo G555' laptop computer AND 50 laptops for two schools nominated by participants. Each laptop comes with a 15.6" screen, 160GB hard drive, 3GB ram, and a Targus bag.

If you order any Charter service between now and September 20, 2010, you will automatically receive a chance to win and get up to $300 cash back. You can also enter online at www.charter.com/laptop, with no purchase necessary.

Not only can you get a chance to win a laptop for yourself, but you can also help give back to your community by nominating your favorite school for the contest. The nomination process is short and sweet. Simple provide your zip code, the name of your favorite school, and why it deserves to win by August 12. And the nominee will be in the competition for 50 laptops. It's a great opportunity for parents and others to nominate their local schools and encourage their friends to vote for their school.

When the nomination phase concludes, Charter will choose 50 finalists based on the nomination stories submitted and announce them on August 16. Public voting occurs between August 16 and September 20. The two winning schools will be announced on September 27th.

After you enter the sweepstakes, you may want to "like" Charter on Facebook and stay informed of the contest status as well as Charter's future promotions.

Charter On Demand: Movies and Beyond

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Charter. All opinions are 100% mine.

Quite a few cable companies offer Movies on Demand services, but Charter on Demand has taken one step further and gone way beyond just movies. Visit Charter On Demand home page, select your location, and you'll be able to browse and explore the complete On Demand menu for your area. Besides the latest movies, there are thousands of shows and programs geared toward different audiences. You can easily filter the list of programs based on your interest, like music, cooking, kids friendly, and high definition (HD). There's also an easy-to-use search function, which allows you search for shows by actor, title, genre, director, and more.

Contrary to my preconception that On Demand services are expensive, there are even tons of FREE shows On Demand that you can watch at any time you like! For instance, I can watch for free Behind the Scenes and music videos for my favorite movie Alice in Wonderland (2010), starring Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska. Avatar fans can not only watch the movie On Demand, but can also watch bonus materials about the story and movie making process completely free of charge.

Not surprisingly, On Demand is one of the most popular features of Charter TV in Digital, as it has so much more to offer than movies. Check out Charter's unique service. You will ‘Like’ their Facebook page as well.
